Here's a reviewer for your entrance exam, covering English, Science, and Math.

Entrance Exam Reviewer


English

1. Reading Comprehension

 Read passages carefully and identify the main idea.


 Look for supporting details and context clues.
 Understand the author's tone and purpose.

2. Grammar

 Subject-Verb Agreement: Ensure the subject and verb agree in number


(singular/plural).
 Tenses: Present, past, and future tenses, along with their progressive and perfect
forms.
 Pronouns: Correct use of subject, object, and possessive pronouns.
 Modifiers: Avoid misplaced or dangling modifiers.
 Prepositions: Correct usage of in, on, at, between, among, etc.

3. Figures of Speech

 Simile – Comparison using "like" or "as" (e.g., "She is as fast as a cheetah.")


 Metaphor – Direct comparison without "like" or "as" (e.g., "Time is a thief.")
 Personification – Giving human qualities to non-human things (e.g., "The wind
whispered.")
 Hyperbole – Exaggeration for effect (e.g., "I’ve told you a million times.")
 Irony – When the opposite of what is expected happens.
 Alliteration – Repetition of consonant sounds (e.g., "Peter Piper picked a peck of
pickled peppers.")
Science

1. Layers of the Earth

 Crust – Outermost layer; includes continents and ocean floors.


 Mantle – Semi-solid, convection currents move tectonic plates.
 Outer Core – Liquid layer of iron and nickel; generates Earth's magnetic field.
 Inner Core – Solid iron and nickel; extremely hot.

2. Types of Bacteria

 Cocci – Spherical-shaped bacteria.


 Bacilli – Rod-shaped bacteria.
 Spirilla – Spiral-shaped bacteria.
 Vibrios – Comma-shaped bacteria.

3. Fossils

 Mold Fossils – Impressions left by organisms.


 Cast Fossils – Formed when minerals fill a mold fossil.
 Petrified Fossils – Minerals replace organic material.
 Trace Fossils – Footprints, burrows, or other evidence of life.

4. Plate Boundaries

 Divergent – Plates move apart, forming new crust (e.g., Mid-Atlantic Ridge).
 Convergent – Plates collide; can create mountains or subduction zones (e.g.,
Himalayas).
 Transform – Plates slide past each other, causing earthquakes (e.g., San Andreas
Fault).
Math

1. Quadratic Formula

For a quadratic equation ax2+bx+c=0ax^2 + bx + c = 0, the roots are:

x=−b±b2−4ac2ax = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}

2. Quotients

 Dividing Polynomials: Use long division or synthetic division.


 Simplifying Rational Expressions: Factor numerators and denominators before
dividing.
 Properties of Quotients:
o Quotient of two like terms: xmxn=xm−n\frac{x^m}{x^n} = x^{m-n}
o Zero quotient: 0a=0\frac{0}{a} = 0 (except division by zero is undefined).

This should help you prepare well. Let me know if you need more examples or explanations!
